TNA Impact!
October 16 2008

Segment 1:

Sting cuts a promo celebrating his newly won TNA World Heavyweight Championship from Samoa Joe at Bound For Glory. His promo is interrupted by AJ Styles who says that it's time for TNA to continue to evolve and move forward, he puts over the homegrown TNA talent and the guys who come up and are coming up from the indies. He says that another world title run with a guy like Sting is a step backwards and TNA needs to look forward with the future of this business. Styles says if Joe can't lead them, then it's time for himself to step up. He's cut off by Booker T who mocks AJ for implying he's anywhere near ready for a world championship match when Booker just beat AJ and Christian Cage in a Triple Threat at BFG. AJ and Booker argue back and forth before ultimately deciding for a one on one match in tonight's main event.

After the match, Homicide hops in the ring trying to argue and beef with Morgan while Morgan just smiles and laughs at the much smaller but the brave Homicide, Team 3D come down the ramp with mics in hands and say that there's clearly some tension still there from their 4-Way Tag at BFG but they can't let them get distracted by the real enemies which are Beer Money. They initiate a challenge next week where all 3 teams can resolve their issues with each other while also seeing who is the best team of the 3 when they have a triple threat #1 contenders tag match next week on Impact.

---

Segment 5:

Christian Cage cuts an in ring promo and goes over what AJ Styles said earlier about guys coming and taking spots from the homefrown guys, he says he felt slightly offended by what AJ said as after everything he and AJ have been through, he still considers them friends. He says that he wants to make one thing clear and that is that no matter how it may look, Christian has never been just "given" a spot in any promotion and he has busted his ass off to become as good as he's become.

He's cut off by Kevin Nash who mocks Cage from the entrance ramp and says that Christian shouldn't worry about something so stupid, he mocks Christian for the way he views the business where Nash clearly just views it as a way to make as much money as possible.

TNA Impact!
October 23 2008

Match 1:

The Motor City Machine Guns (Alex Shelley and Chris Sabin) fought Kaz and Petey Williams to a contest due to interference at 5 minutes

The 4 X-Division stars are beat down by the same group who ended Impact last week Kurt Angle, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash, Booker T and TNA World Heavyweight Champion Sting

---

Segment 1:

The group cut a promo primarily lead by Kurt Angle and Sting. They introduce their faction as "The Main Event Mafia" and say that they're there to set the record straight in TNA - There is no "future" of TNA without first going through them. They make it adamantly clear that this is all for and all about respect which they feel these "young punks" are not giving in TNA. They say that the TNA originals and new talent that come into TNA should be kissing them at their feet and grateful for everything that they've done for this company. This shocks the crowd especially to see someone like Sting join the likes of this group who goes on to tear down Samoa Joe at BFG several weeks ago. Kevin Nash mentions that there are "some" guys that don't value their own stock the way they should and have gone soft and it gives the main event talent a bad look (obviously referring to Christian Cage's promo last week) - while Scott Steiner then says there are other non TNA originals like Rhino who are not main event level talent and aren't even "has been" levels but are "never was" level talent - Booker T begins to speak his mind in the promo but the group is cut off by AJ Styles.

AJ Styles tries to tear down the group from a distance and is angry they attacked him and beat him down last week and taunts Booker for not being able to get the job done last week on his own, he challenges Booker to a rematch tonight but Booker doesn't agree to it before Christian Cage comes out and joins AJ on his promo and calls out Nash for his comments about him - Christian Cage demands that if Booker is too cowardly for a singles match then maybe tonight's main event should be a tag team match between Christian Cage and AJ Styles against Kevin Nash and Booker T with the match being set.

---

Match 2:

Brodie Lee DEF. Jimmy Rave (w/ Lance Rock) at 6 minutes in Brodie's debut match

Brodie made a great first showing and was able to showcase his fast paced but heavy hitting fighting style, after the match, Lance Rock steps into the ring and squares up with Brodie before ultimately checking on Rave and picking him up and helping him up to the back.

---

Segment 2:

We get an in ring promo from Christopher Daniels who recently returned to the company last week and says he's spent nearly a year away forced to be out of TNA while guys like Eric Young and his boyish personality make a mockery of this sport that he loves so much. Daniels puts the entire locker room on notice and says that he's better, faster, and stronger than ever before and he'll stop at nothing to reach the top of the mountain this time in TNA.

---

Match 3:

Christopher Daniels DEF. Shark Boy at 7 minutes

After the match, Daniels goes to beat down Shark Boy but Eric Young comes running from the back to try and defend his friend Shark Boy but is reversed by Daniels and is once again left laid out by Christopher Daniels

---

Match 4:

Matt Morgan and Abyss DEF. Team 3D (Brother Ray and Brother Devon) and LAX (Hernandez and Homicide) in a #1 Contenders 3-Way Tag at 13 Minutes after Matt Morgan pins Homicide

As Morgan and Abyss celebrate in the ring, Beer Money's music hits and the TNA World Tag Team Champions look to make their ring to confront their next challengers but stop dead in their tracks as both LAX and Team 3D stand tall next to Morgan and Abyss and all 6 men just stand there just waiting for the chance to attack Beer Money as Beer Money just scoff and head to the back instead.


---

Segment 3:

Mick Foley has an in ring promo and verbally attacks the Main Event Mafia and says it's an ignorant and foolish concept for a group, he spends time putting over the TNA homegrown talent but is cut off by Main Event Mafia's Kurt Angle who hits the ring and gets in Foley's face and says that it's because of him that he lost to Jeff Jarrett at Bound For Glory and made him realize how much of a joke this company actually is so if anyone is to blame for the MEM as a group it's Foley, Foley looks to try and defend himself but Angle headbutts Foley instead and knocks Foley out onto his back as Jeff Jarrett's music hits before Angle can cause any more damage but Jarrett comes running into a belly to belly suplex by Kurt Angle who then relentlessly beats down Jarrett to the point TNA security comes to escort and drag Angle away as Jarrett is helped by medical staff and a slightly bloodied forehead Foley is struggling to wobble to the back.

---

Match 5:


TNA X-Division Champion Sheik Abdul Bashier (c) DEF. Jay Lethal (w/ Concequences Creed) at 11 Minutes via lowblow after the ref argues with Creed after Creed tries to stop Sheik from cheating beforehand.

After the match, Creed hits the ring to try and get to Sheik but Sheik makes a run for it up the ramp with the X-Division Championship but is cut off by Jim Cornette at the entrance ramp who tears down Sheik's tactics have now cost 2 X-Division contenders a match and therefore, at the Turning Point PPV Sheik will now have to defend his championship against both Creed and Lethal in a 3-Way while Lethal and Creed smile with Sheik throwing a tantrum.

---

Segment 4:

We get a backstage interview with TNA World Heavyweight Champion Sting being interviewed by Jeremy Borash with Sting doubling down on his new stance as a heel and says he truly believes the Main Event Mafia is a step in the right direction for not just TNA, but for this business as well. When Borash says if that's the case why did Kurt Angle just earlier tonight get dragged out of the ring like a wild animal after beating down two legends in their own right like Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley. Sting says that both men ultimately had it coming and that they just need to trust the process, he's come to terms that Kurt knows what he's doing and will stick by his side.

---

MAIN EVENT:

The Main Event Mafia (Booker T and Kevin Nash) DEF. AJ Styles and Christian Cage at 12 Minutes after Scott Steiner attempted to come to the aid of Booker and Nash, Rhino attacked Steiner from behind and Christian was looking to the outside and was distracted and then turned around to get hit with a big boot and then hit with a jack knife power bomb from Kevin Nash

The show comes to a close with Nash, Booker and Steiner all posing in the ring doing a Main Event Mafia hand sign ​

TNA Impact!
October 30 2008

Segment 1:

The opening segment is an in ring promo where Kurt Angle calls out Jeff Jarrett and says he's not finished with him yet. He says if it wasn't for TNA security he would have done a whole lot worse last week and he wants his rematch from Bound For Glory. He's cut off by Mick Foley who comes down to the entrance ramp and says that Kurt is too ignorant to realize that he doesn't truly want a rematch with Jarrett, because if that was the case he wouldn't have beaten Jarrett down so badly last week to the point he can't be medically cleared. He tears down the rest of the Mafia as well and says this whole "respect" shtick is tired and played out and they all lived through an era where a big stable of a**holes ruined and killed "another company" and Foley won't allow that to happen to TNA. He says that Angle won't get his rematch with Jarrett, but Angle will be getting a match with Foley at Turning Point!

The rest of the Main Event Mafia come out from behind and are slowly approaching and look to beat down Foley but from behind the rest of the Mafia comes down The Motor City Machine Guns, Kaz and Petey Williams! The four men who had their tag match stopped last week due to interference from the Mafia - it looks like there's about to be a massive brawl but TNA GM Jim Cornette appears on screen and calls the brawl off and announces an 8-Man Tag between Kaz/Williams/MCMG vs. The Main Event Mafia and that's gonna start ... right now!

---

Match 1:

The Main Event Mafia (Kurt Angle, Booker T, Kevin Nash and TNA World Heavyweight Champion Sting) (w/ Scott Steiner) DEF. The Motor City Machine Guns, Petey Williams and Kaz in an 8-Man Tag via pinfall from Angle onto Williams at 9 minutes after Steiner distracted his former ally Petey Williams by taunting him from the outside.

After the match, The Main Event Mafia celebrate in the ring together as the crowd boos.

---

Segment 2:

There's a promo battle between TNA World Tag Team Champions Beer Money and Abyss/Matt Morgan who make their match at Turning Point next Sunday official with Beer Money trying to provoke Abyss into assaulting them outside of the match so they can report Abyss to the authorities and get him thrown back into the asylum that he was at earlier this year. Abyss is shaking in the corner and shaking his head and slightly squealing saying he won't go back. Morgan helps calm his partner down before turning to Beer Money and saying that it's true that outside of wrestling in matches, Abyss does need to keep his bet behavior. But thankfully, that rule doesn't apply to him before then kicking James Storm straight in the face with a big boot and then going for Roode who dodges and then rolls out of the ring and pulls Storm out of the ring quick while they need to try and preserve themselves for their match later tonight with Consequences Creed.

---

Segment 3:

Jim Cornette is backstage in his office and thanks Mick for offering to deal with Angle on a personal level. He says Mick Foley making his in ring debut for TNA against Kurt Angle in a first time ever dream match will be huge for the PPV but now he just needs to pen out the main event. Foley puts over AJ Styles huge and says he truly believes AJ is the best wrestler in the world and is everything that TNA stands for. Jim Cornette tells Foley he likes what he's thinking and that would be 2 big first time ever matches for the PPV. He tells Foley he's going to think it over.

---

Match 2:

Kenny Omega DEF. Kiyoshi in 5 minutes

This was Omega's first match as a signed TNA wrestler and he made a great showing as he celebrates in the ring with Mike Tenay and Don West both putting him over huge as a future staple of the X-Division.

---

Segment 4:

Jim Cornette's office is seen again and he's called AJ into his locker room, he informs AJ of the kind words Foley had for AJ and says that it would possibly be controversial to give him the title match though since he's not been able to secure a win in his last few matches. He says he'll give AJ the title match at Turning Point if AJ can beat any opponents of The Main Event Mafia's choosing later tonight which AJ agrees to.

---

Segment 5:

We get a backstage segment with a big argument between Brodie Lee and Lance Rock/Jimmy Rave where the tag team taunt and get in the face of the newly signed TNA star Brodie Lee and are trying to provoke him with Brodie also in Lance's face and says he beat his tag partner Jimmy fair and square in the ring and he's willing to do the same to Lance if he wants to give it a shot with Lance agreeing to it.

---

Match 3:

Brodie Lee DEF. Lance Rock (w/ Jimmy Rave) at 8 Minutes

After the match, Jimmy Rave slides into the ring and attempts to attack Brodie Lee but Jimmy runs right into a Discus Lariat

---

Match 4:

TNA World Tag Team Champions Beer Money (James Storm and Robert Roode) DEF. Lethal Concequences after Storm pinned Lethal at 11 Minutes

After the match, TNA X-Division Champion Sheik Abdul Bashier runs out to the ring to try and beat down Lethal Concequences with the help of Beer Money but Matt Morgan makes his way out to the ring and stops them as all 3 men leave the ring. Morgan gets on the mic. and says he knows Abyss isn't going to be able to keep waiting on having some fun before Turning Point so he announces tomorrow on a special Halloween episode of Xplosion, Abyss is going to face Sheik Abdul Bashier in a Monsters Ball match!

He goes to finish the promo but is ambushed from behind by Christopher Daniels

---

AJ Styles makes his entrance and is waiting to see who his opponents are that were handpicked by the Main Event Mafia and is just as shocked as the audience is to see its a reformation of the The New Age Outlaws now just going by "The Outlaws" Billy Gunn and Jesse James

Match 5:

AJ Styles DEF. The Outlaws (Billy Gunn and Jesse James) in a 2 on 1 Handicap match at 10 minutes after Styles was able to outsmart the two veterans and hit Jesse James with a Styles Clash

TNA Impact!
November 6 2008

Segment 1:

The show opens with The Main Event Mafia all being in the ring as they all cut a promo about how things went down at the end of Impact last week and say that is exactly why the "Family" was assembled was to restore a feeling of RESPECT in this business. Sting is standing in the corner, sunshades on, TNA World Title over his shoulder, not speaking just soaking everything in as the crowd boos. Kurt Angle says that the Main Event Mafia is going to do what Jeff Jarrett and Dixie Carter couldn't do and that's take this company to new heights and make TNA a household name. They say this is the REAL world where guys like them are leaders, and the guys like the rest of that locker room are just lucky to pick up the scraps. Scott Steiner trash talks his former ally Petey Williams and calls him a loser. Kevin Nash speaks on Christian Cage and says he's got something coming to him after interfering in Scott's main event last week, Booker T speaks specifically on AJ Styles and says that he couldn't get the job done for so many matches in a row but got lucky and beat a couple of washed up nobodies like The Outlaws last week and now all of a sudden he's the #1 contender for the TNA World Championship? BLASPHEMY!

They are cut off by TNA's GM Jim Cornette who says that he comes from all of their era and even then some for a few of them, so he understands a thing or two about respect. He says that this is HIS show to run, not theirs. He's going to make them walk the walk since they want to try and talk the talk. He says our opening contest will be Steiner vs Petey Williams, Kevin Nash wants Christian? Well he's finishing up a few details but Nash and Christian WILL be in the same ring together this Sunday at Turning Point on PPV, and that leaves us with a main event for tonight, Booker T is going to go one on one again with AJ Styles in a final proving grounds for AJ.


---

Match 1:

Scott Steiner DEF. Petey Williams in 5 Minutes


After the match, Scott picks up his former ally Petey and looks as if he's going to offer him a handshake but instead hits Petey with a clothesline which completely knocks him out and leaves the crowd booing.

---

Segment 2:


Backstage, we see the other 4 members of the Mafia sitting in their private lounge when the camera pans out to a tall man in a bouncer's uniform who is former ROH star Claudio Castagnoli standing in front of a red carpet roped off entrance, watching guard of their doorway as The Outlaws Billy Gunn and Jesse James approach, Claudio just stands there flexing his giant arms and not moving a muscle just looking straight ahead while Claudio asks what their business is. They say they need to speak to Kurt. Kurt Angle overhears this and says for Claudio to let them in, which Claudio unclicks the rope and lets them in. The Outlaws apologize about last week, Kurt cuts them off and says no excuses, they had one job which was to prevent AJ challenging for Sting's world championship. The Outlaws ask for another chance to try out for The Main Event Mafia, they comically look around the locker room and see how extravagant they have it and beg to be let into their secret club. Booker begins to yell at them while Nash just smokes a cigar in the background. Booker tells them he has to finish doing the job they had to do last week to beat some sense into AJ before his big match with Sting. Sting, frustrated, says enough of that and he can speak for himself and he plans to go out there and do so tonight. He wishes Booker good luck tonight and then leaves the private lounge as The Outlaws just watch the awkward tension unfold.


---

Match 2:


Brodie Lee DEF. Lance Rock (w/ Jimmy Rave) in 6 minutes


After the match, Jimmy Rave grabs a chair and slaps it into Lee's back and Lee drops down to his knees and Archer looks to be taunting Lee to stand back up so they can two on one beat down Lee but they're cut off by the other recent TNA signing Kenny Omega who runs into the ring and hits Rave with a V-Trigger and knocks him out, Rock makes his way out of the ring and pulls Rave out and helps him to the back as Omega helps Lee back up to his feet and the two shake hands while looking at Rock and Rave.

---

Match 3:


Christian Cage DEF. Doug Williams in 9 Minutes


After the match, Rhino comes down and joins Cage in the ring and the two cut a promo on what Cornette said earlier about having something planned for the PPV, Cage confirms a 6-Man Tag between Booker, Steiner, and Nash against himself, Rhino and a man who he promises the Mafia he's been more than assured wants to be here because of what TNA has to offer and would love to join in on the war that's boiling up in TNA.

---

Tag Team Gauntlet for Future TNA World Tag Team Championship Match with featured teams: Team 3D, LAX, Motor City Machine Guns, The Outlaws, and MORE

---

Segment 4:


We get a video package hyping up the Eric Young and Christopher Daniels feud with new promos from both men, highlighted by Daniels saying he doesn't care about any silly war going on he's just back in TNA to climb up the ranks and become champion, and a silly immediate cut to Eric Young just wanting to have a good time and continue to getting paid doing what he loves.


---

Segment 5:


We get an in ring promo by Mick Foley who cuts a promo on his upcoming match with Kurt Angle this Sunday on PPV and thanks the TNA fans and the TNA locker room for welcoming him with welcome arms. He says that this match is a chance to prove to not just the world, but to himself that he still has it. He says that this goes beyond just fighting for his good friend Jeff Jarrett, this goes to knocking guys like Kurt Angle down a peg. He says that he understands exactly what the TNA locker room is going through watching this tall, buff, handsome men try and take their spot. The spot that they've bled, sweat and nearly died for. He says he's the poster child of that movement in wrestling. He says that his family is begging him not to step into that ring but he says that he's always going to be willing to die in this ring as long as it's for the greater good. He tells Kurt he better prepare for the fight of his life this Sunday.

Match 4:

---

MAIN EVENT:

AJ Styles DEF. Booker T via pinfall at 17 Minutes

After the match, Booker is throwing a tantrum in the ring but TNA World Heavyweight Champion Sting comes out and demands that Booker cuts it out. He says that AJ beat Booker fair and square and now AJ steps into the ring this Sunday with AJ's biggest match ever. Sting has had a few weeks to think everything over that's gone down since forming The Main Event Mafia and he truly believes that this will be for the better of professional wrestling, to enforce respect and to enforce a hierarchy. He hates this reputation that TNA has as this "retirement home" or a "side show" he says that he came to TNA because he saw the potential that it had but then you've got these empty headed pricks like Samoa Joe jumping onto concrete steps and nearly breaking his back, you've got guys like AJ who can't go more than two seconds without doing a flip, making a mockery of this great sport that he's been in long enough that every morning he wakes in pain for. The crowd boos as Sting continues to speak. Sting says that the fans may not understand it, and they may not like it, but Sting is here to save the future of professional wrestling into devolving to a circus act again. He pulls out of his suit pocket, several tubes of make up and dumps them on the ground, takes his sunglasses off, looks right into the camera with no makeup and just the pure face of Sting and says "Now, more than ever, IT'S SHOW TIME!"

The episode comes to a fade ending as Sting and AJ look each other on from a distance. ​

TNA Turning Point 2008:
November 9 2008:

The PPV opens with a big pyro explosion as the fans in the Impact Zone prepare for Turning Point!

Commentators Don West and Mike Tenay run us down tonight's stacked card and we open with tag team action!

---

Match 1:
Brodie Lee and Kenny Omega DEF. The Rock and Rave Infection (Lance Rock and Jimmy Rave) after pinfall from Omega onto Rave at 12 Minutes.
Rock and Rave got more offense off in this match than they did in their singles match encounters with Lee since they had the experience of being a team but the TNA newcomers Omega and Lee are able to secure the victory after Lee lariats Rock to the outside of the ring and Omega hits Rave with his finishing move the One Winged Angel.

After the match, Omega and Lee shake hands with one another, commentary makes it very clear that these two are very much still singles competitors but both are just looking to make their name in TNA. Omega yanks away from the handshake but Lee keeps it gripped and the crowd goes a bit stunned thinking Lee is about to turn on Omega but Lee raises Omega's arm one more time for the crowd as they applause loud and then the two go their separate ways.

---

Segment 1:

We get a backstage interview with Jeremy Borash interviewing Christian Cage and Rhino. Borash says the message boards are buzzing with curiosity of who their teammate is in tonight's 6-Man Tag. Cage says what fun would it be to spoil the surprise tonight. Rhino gets angry and cuts a promo on Scott Steiner for their unfinished business from a few Impact episodes ago. He says that he looks forward to locking in and finally getting a fair shot to tear Steiner limb from limb.

---

Christopher Daniels makes a special entrance with new darker and more ominous music. He comes out wearing a black and dark red robe, with a new style of small bits of face paint on his face and is officially being declared as "The Fallen Angel" once more as Eric Young stands in the corner looking startled.


Match 2:
Christopher Daniels DEF. Eric Young via pinfall at 5 Minutes
This was a pretty one sided match with Young getting in almost no offense except with just some light reversals.

After the match, Daniels just stands up and stands over Young with a grim but disappointed look on his face as he makes his way to the back while Young continues to lay there.


---

Match 3:
TNA World Tag Team Championships:
TNA World Tag Team Champions Beer Money (James Storm and Robert Roode) (c) DEF. Abyss and Matt Morgan after pinfall from Robert Roode on Abyss at 13 Minutes
This was a great and hard hitting match between 4 true, classic heavyweight wrestlers. Abyss and Matt Morgan nearly picked up the win after an insane hot tag onto Morgan after Abyss had been beat down most of the match. The match came to an end after when the referee was distracted with checking on Matt Morgan on the outside after Roode and Storm double super kicked him over the top rope and James Storm took the chance to grab his glass beer bottle from the outside of the ring and crack it over the skull of Abyss and then Roode hit a piledriver onto Abyss to get the win

Storm and Roode celebrate in the ring as the crowd boos

Segment 2:

We get a video package highlighting the Main Event Mafia so far in their short run and how much chaos thye've already caused within TNA while trying to become the authority of TNA. We get the deep voiced TNA narrator hyping Cage and Rhino and questioning just who could possibly be "joining the war" as Christian Cage put it.

The Main Event Mafia make their entrance as Booker T, Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash make their way to the ring to a mixed reaction of cheers and boos from the crowd.

Rhino and then Christian Cage make their entrance and stand in the ring ready to face off with the Mafia

The lights go out as the crowd cheers

The sound of an engine can be revving up in the theme song

Big silver text pops up on the titantron,

"BOBBY LASHLEY"

The crowd erupts with cheers as Bobby Lashley makes his way down through the iconic TNA entrance tunnel and just smiles and points to the crowd.

Lashley hops in the ring and stands by Rhino and Christian Cage.

Christian Cage stands forward of the 3 men, smirking as Nash, Booker and Steiner look on. Cage is talking smack to Nash and mocking him before Nash just gives the biggest evil smirk while throwing up the Main Event Mafia hand sign as Christian just looks confused as the camera closes up on Christian's face and then a loud "THUD!" noise can be heard from behind him. The camera pans back to the entire ring and Lashley has taken out Rhino as the crowd then turns entirely to boos as Christian then turns around as Lashley is just standing there smirking while Christian is alone in the ring with the 4 other men before ultimately Lashley charges Christian and hits him with a huge spear as the crowd boos. Nash is just grinning ear to ear while leaning over the ropes and can loudly be heard yelling to the crowd and audience at home "He's here to join the war, just not the side you thought he was." as Lashley, Booker, Steiner and Nash all raise their arms up together in celebration before leaving the ring

---

We get a video package of Sheik Abdul Bashier costing both Consequences Creed and Jay Lethal their X-Division Championship matches in Sheik's last 2 title defenses and now he has to pay for his sins by defending the X title in a 3-Way match

Match 4:
TNA X-Division Championship:
Triple Threat:
Consequences Creed DEF. Jay Lethal and TNA X-Division Champion Sheik Abdul Bashier (c) after Creed pins Sheik at 14 minutes
This match was just what the crowd needed with fast paced X-Division action. Lethal was going for the Lethal combination but Sheik reverse it and dropped Lethal hard on his back but Creed comes from behind and rolls up Sheik and gets the shocking 3-count!

Sheik Abdul Bashier immediately sits up and is bug eyed shocked at what just happened as the referee hands Creed the X-Division Championship as Creed is geeking out celebrating and holding the title above his head as Lethal pulls himself up in the corner and is trying his best to not look upset and show support for his friend and tag partner. Creed extends his arm out to Lethal and the two both raise each others arms as Lethal then leaves the ring and Creed gets the ring to himself to celebrate his first title win in TNA.

---

Segment 3:

We get a backstage interview from Jeremy Borash and AJ Styles. Styles talks about his TNA World Heavyweight Championship match tonight with Sting. He says life is a crazy thing and almost any other time in the past he would be just as big of a fan as those in the crowd and watching home when getting to step into the ring with Sting but that all changed just a few weeks ago as Sting has seemingly changed and aligned himself with the crooks that are the Main Event Mafia. He says that he had no idea the results of his words a few weeks ago would lead to this. He said that he doesn't want these legends and superstars from other promotions to continue to come in and take away his company and they seemed to have taken that beyond personal and are going to extreme distances to do just that! AJ says he can't stand by and allow that to happen. Styles says that TNA is the house that AJ Styles built and nobody is kicking him out of his own home, not even THE ICON Sting.

---

We get a video package hyping up this next bout as it's a first time ever singles match up between two of the best to ever do it. Kurt Angle, the co-leader of The Main Event Mafia originally wanted this match to be his rematch with Jeff Jarrett but he's settling on getting to compete with Mick Foley instead who has stepped in place of Jarrett after Angle's assault on Jarrett left him with a concussion and unable to be medically cleared for tonight. Foley originally just was wanting to stop in and have a cup of coffee in TNA as a guest but Angle has lured him into staying because Foley wants to stand up for what's right and help keep TNA afloat so these young guys have a home to continue mastering their craft.

Match 5:
Kurt Angle DEF. Mick Foley via pinfall at 15 minutes.
Foley was able to put in more of a fight than anyone, including Kurt Angle, could have ever imagined. Foley got a 2.9999 pinfall on Angle after his signature double arm DDT. a few minutes later into the match, Foley went to go and grab Mr. Socko from his pants as the crowd errupted in cheers but Angle rushed over and tackled Foley into the corner and grabbed the sock and like a maniac ripped the sock up in his teeth and spat it out to the floor as the crowd both amused and disgusted booed Kurt Angle before Kurt picked up Foley and hit him with the Olympic Slam to get the victory.

After the match Angle would continue to beat down and stomp on Foley but Jeff Jarrett's music hits as Jarrett runs down to the ring carrying his signature guitar, Angle looks on and escapes the ring as Jarrett slides in to save his friend Mick Foley.

Match 6:

Tag Team Gauntlet for a future shot at the TNA World Tag Team Championships:


Entrant 1: LAX (Hernandez and Homicide)
Entrant 2: Kaz and Petey Williams

Homicide pinned Petey Williams at 6 minutes to advance to the next round

Entrant 3: The Motor City Machine Guns (Chris Sabin and Alex Shelley)

Hernandez pinned Chris Sabin at 11 Minutes to advance to the next round

Entrant 4: The Rock and Rave Infection (Lance Rock and Jimmy Rave)

Lance Rock scores a huge upset and is able to pin Hernandez in the ring at 15 minutes to advance to the next round

Entrant 5: Making their TNA debut, The Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark Briscoe)

Jay Briscoe pinned Jimmy Rave at 17 Minutes to advance to the next round

Entrant 6: The Outlaws (Jesse James and Billy Gunn)

Mark Briscoe pins Jesse James at 22 Minutes to advance to the next round

Final Entrant: Team 3D (Brother Ray and Brother Devon)

The crowd is chanting "Holy sh**! Holy Sh**! Holy Sh**!" as Team 3D stand across the ring from The Briscoes before the two teams start to brawl in the ring and tear into each other and put on a banger to end this gauntlet.

Team 3D hit Jay Briscoe with a 3D in the middle of the ring and go for the pinfall but to the shock of everyone, Jay kicks out of one of the most devastating moves in tag team history as the crowd erupts and everyone is standing on their feet cheering. Mark dives off the top rope and hits Brother Ray with a diving mistle dropkick, Jay is able to slowly crawl his way up to his feet as Briscoe is doing chops and strikes onto Devon before Jay turns Devon around and kicks him in the gut and sets up and delivers the Jay Driller to get the pinfall!

The Briscoe Brothers win the Tag Team gauntlet at 38 minutes after Jay Briscoe pins Brother Devon.

After the match, all four men shake each others hands as the crowd cheers for the match they just witnessed while we see TNA World Tag Team Champions Beer Money watching on from a TV in the back.

---

We get a video package hyping up our main event which features a recap of the end of the last episode of Impact! with Sting dropping the facepaint and leaving it behind, signaling an entire new era for Sting.

The entrances and announcements are made inside the ring as the crowd just stares on a bit in awe as it's surreal to see Sting standing in the ring with no facepaint on and is rocking just regular black pants with no design on them and he has his hair extra slicked back.

MAIN EVENT:
TNA World Heavyweight Championship:
TNA World Heavyweight Champion Sting (c) DEF. AJ Styles via pinfall at 14 minutes
A very 50/50 match as the young and faster challenger gave the veteran champion a run for his money but ultimately Styles went for the Phenomenal Forearm but Sting struck Styles in the face mid air and then was able to hit AJ with the Scorpion death drop to get the win.

After the match, Sting just catches his breath and stands crouched over the corner a bit before limping over to receive his TNA World Heavyweight Championship from the referee. He sees AJ has made it up to his feet and the two lock eyes with AJ's back to the entrance way. AJ looks disappointed in both himself and Sting but still reluctantly sticks his hand out to shake Sting's hand, Sting just stands there and thinks about it but the camera cuts to Kurt Angle, Booker T, Kevin Nash, Scott Steiner and Bobby Lashley all standing at the stage in nice suits and sunglasses clapping for their champion and Sting then decides to just throw the title over his shoulder and walk past AJ as the PPV ends with Sting walking up the entrance way and the Main Event Mafia comforting him as AJ sits defeated in the ring.​

TNA IMPACT
NOVEMBER 13 2008

A video package recapping the PPV opens the show as we see the highlights of Turning Point

Pyro goes off and commentators Mike Tenay and Don West thank the audience for tuning in

The Main Event Mafia's theme hits as the crowd boos as the group make their way to the ring.

TNA World Champion Sting, Kurt Angle, Booker T, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash and the newest member of the Mafia Bobby Lashley are all dressed in nice suits and stand in the ring

Outside of the ring with their arms crossed are The Associates of the Main Event Mafia which are the The Outlaws (Jesse James and Billy Gunn) and standing there in a more proper, confident and intimidating pose is Claudio Castagnoli. The 3 stand outside watching guard of the ring.

Kurt Angle praises the entire group and says to the shock of nobody, Turning Point was a huge success for the group. He welcomes the newest member of "The Family" Bobby Lashley and gives him a big hug before letting Lashley speak while Nash stands behind Lashley and pats him on the back as he speaks.
Lashley says he played Chrsitian Cage and Rhino for the fools they are. He says TNA is popping off and he knew this was the place to be and he knew that the best way to get to the top of the mountain was to ride with The Main Event Mafia. He gloats about being a headliner and a former world champion just like the rest of all of them and he appreciates being welcomed into the family and becoming an official "made member" of the Main Event Mafia.
Sting just stands in the corner of the ring in silence observing everyone speaking while the microphone is handed off to Booker T. Booker says that The Main Event Mafia will be the biggest and baddest wrestling group of all time. He turns to Sting and apologizes for how he behaved last week on Impact when AJ Styles got a fluke win over him but he thanks Sting for taking matters into his own hands and squashing AJ like a bug. He says that AJ went for high risk and paid the ultimate price and was defeated by their fearless leader Sting. Kurt gives a facial expression of clearly being bothered by Booker calling Sting the leader while Sting just kind of awkwardly nods and waits for Booker to wrap it up.
Steiner then goes on a screaming tangent and tears verbally into Rhino and calls him a degenerate. He says that the only time he's been mad at his brothers in this ring here was them giving the news they were going to bamboozle Christian and Rhino at the PPV and that meant Steiner couldn't beat Rhino's a** in the ring, but to see Rhino get dropped like a big fat sack of potatoes by Lashley made it all worth it. Steiner laughs and also pats Lashley on the back.

Kurt then speaks again and says onto the next matter of business is to get his rematch with Jarrett, he calls Jarrett a coward and a chump for waiting for the end of Angle's match with Foley at Turning Point to show his ugly face. Angle begins to try and tear into Jarrett more but Jarrett's music hits.

Both Jeff Jarrett and Mick Foley come out and are standing at the stage with microphones in their hands. Jarrett calls Angle a "Pu**y" and says if he had known bringing Angle to TNA would lead to whatever kind of circle jerk is going on in that ring he never would have bothered bringing Angle into TNA. Jarrett then says scratch that and corrects himself and says he honestly wouldn't have even opened TNA up if he had known this is what the company would come down to. He says that Angle and the rest of his HBO watching bozos in the ring must have forgotten one thing and thats that TNA is Jarrett country. He calls out Lashley for talking about going the easy way out to get to the top of the mountain and then loudly proclaims he must not know who runs that mountain because Jarrett is the KING of the mountain. The crowd cheers and chants "TNA!"

Foley speaks and says Angle thinks that he got the best of him but if there's anything that Foleys known for more than falling down, it's getting right back up. Foley gets emotional and says it's going to take a lot more than that to get Foley down. He says that Angle is going to have to KILL him if he wants to get Foley out of the way because he's not going anywhere!

Jarrett brings up the PPV coming up in a few weeks back to where it all started for TNA in Nashville at "TNA HOMECOMING" and says he'll see Angle at the PPV as the crowd cheers on and Angle looks conflicted on how he feels about stepping back in the ring with Jarrett at the upcoming PPV.

---

We get a backstage segment of Christian Cage and Rhino talking with Jim Cornette and they talk about what went down at the PPV and say it's criminal what happened at that they need to get their hands on The Main Event Mafia ASAP. Cornette is about to speak but Mick Foley comes through the office and offers his assistance he says he wants the Mafia as well and demands TNA GM Cornette make a match tonight. Jim Cornette confirms tonight's main event is Rhino, Christian Cage and Mick Foley vs. the 3 Main Event Mafia members that Rhino and Christian have been feuding with the most, Scott Steiner, Kevin Nash and Bobby Lashley.

---

Match 2:

LAX (Hernandez and Homicide) DEF. The Rock and Rave Infection (Lance Rock and Jimmy Rave) after Homicide pins Rave at 7 minutes

---

We get a backstage segment of AJ Styles sitting in his locker room and is conflicted with what happened at the PPV. He hears Booker T on his cell phone walking around and laughing. AJ goes to confront Booker and Booker comically throws his phone on the ground and tells AJ to back it up he has no business with him. AJ says the rivalry between the two of them isn't even close to being done. They get heated and in each other's faces but Cornette and the TNA security stop it.

---

We get an in ring segment of new TNA signings The Briscoe Brothers (Jay and Mark Briscoe) who introduce themselves to the TNA audience and celebrate their big PPV win and debut that allows them to get a future TNA Tag Team Championship match. They are cut off by TNA World Tag Team Champions Beer Money (James Storm and Robert Roode) who cut them off and cut a promo on The Briscoes. Roode says that the brilliance of Beer Money as a unit is their mix of styles and personality. He adds emphasis on the BEER and also the MONEY. He says that The Briscoes have clearly missed the memo and are all BEER and unlike his partner, are white trash. Jay Briscoe just laughs and says they didn't come to a company with the literal initials "Total Nonstop Action" to do all this talking. He agrees with Roode and says that in any other occasion that James Storm would be someone that they'd be friendly with but this is about one thing and that one thing is winning those TNA World Tag Team Championships. Storm scoffs and says there is no world where he'd willingly hangout with such losers like The Briscoe Brothers. He says that he knows they're clearly stupid but they must be a special type of stupid if they are this confident after seeing what Beer Money did to Matt Morgan and Abyss at Turning Point.

Matt Morgan's music hits as Matt Morgan and Abyss come from the entrance tunnel with Beer Money scooting further down the entrance ramp, now waged in the middle of the ring between their last challengers and their future challengers.

Morgan says he loves what he's seen so far from The Briscoes but if anyone has any nerve, it's Storm for making such a bold claim when he knows that he has to step in the ring with him tonight. Morgan adds he really does love The Briscoes and their attitude because he agrees it's enough time for talk, and it's time for a fight.

---

Match 3:

Matt Morgan (w/ Abyss, Jay Briscoe and Mark Briscoe) DEF. TNA World Tag Team Champion James Storm (w/ Robert Roode) via pinfall at 7 minutes

After the match, Matt Morgan/Abyss celebrate in the ring and shake hands with The Briscoe Brothers as Beer Money grab their tag titles and head to the back. Matt Morgan and Abyss both lean over the ropes, pointing at Beer Money and say this isn't over.

---

We get a backstage segment of Jay Lethal and newly crowned X-Division Champion Consequences Creed with Lethal hyping up Creed for his match next week. Lethal passive aggressively says although Creed couldn't get the job done by himself last time and needed the assist from Lethal being involved in the match, he's sure he can get it done on his own this time. Creed questions what he means but Lethal laughs and says he's just playing around. Lethal slaps Creed on the shoulder and tells him he's a champion now and he's gotta be confident like one!

---

Kaz and Petey Williams are in the back somewhere else in a locker room and speaking to each other. Petey is down in the dumps about how things have gone lately. He says he regrets putting any stock or trust into Scott Steiner as a hero and look at how things are. He says that he's more emotionally hurt than he is physically hurt by his big loss to Steiner last week. He tells Petey to cheer up, it'll all be made right in due time and wraps his arm around Petey and the two laugh it all off and Petey tells Kaz he's right that he just needs to focus on rebuilding his brand up of being the Maple Leaf Muscle and leave the whole "Little Petey Pump" shtick in the past.

---

Match 4:

Kaz (w/ Petey Williams) DEF. Chris Sabin (w/ Alex Shelley) via pinfall at 8 minutes.

---

We get a view in The Main Event Mafia lounge with Angle and Sting sitting on a couch both drinking from whiskey glasses and talking amongst themselves about the upcoming PPV, we see Booker T talking on his cell phone which is believed to be his wife Sharmell complaining about AJ Styles, we see Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash, who is smoking a cigar again, playing poker at a roundtable with Jesse James and Billy Gunn while Claudio Castagnoli is sitting there silently playing as the dealer for the game before Bobby Lashley in his wrestling gear looking insanely massive and jacked comes through and tells Steiner and Nash "it's main event time, fellas." - Booker comically can be heard saying goodbye on the phone but saying another woman other than his wife's name and then begins to rally the boys together and tells them good luck out there. Billy Gunn smacks his hand down on the table and shows a winning hand which infuriates Steiner who flips the table over and everyone stares as Steiner breathes heavy and yells at Billy Gunn calling him a cheat and saying he's lucky Sting has a soft spot for them and allows them to play dress up here with real stars. Nash calmly just tells Steiner to cool it and tells him to save that energy for the ring. Lashley's eyes can be seen as he wonders what he's gotten himself into. Sting gets up off the couch and says he wants to accompany them to the ring for Bobby's in ring debut.


---

MAIN EVENT:

The Main Event Mafia (Bobby Lashley, Scott Steiner and Kevin Nash) DEF. Rhino, Christian Cage and Mick Foley after Rhino is setting Steiner up for a gore but is met with a spear instead from Bobby Lashley and pinned at 13 minutes

The show comes to an end as Nash, Steiner and Lashley walk their way up the ramp celebrating, Christian is checking on his friend Rhino who twice in a row has been knocked out by Lashley and Foley just stares down Sting and the two just stare at each other with focused looks. Don West and Mike Teny make sure to note on that and says there's clearly something going on in Foley's head and they're sure we'll hear more about it next week on IMPACT!​
